At around 10:15 am, Pacific Standard Time, Francisco Liriano, left-handed starting pitcher designated as Opening Day Starter by his ballclub, the Pittsburgh Pirates, painted the outside corner against right-handed Cubs’ centerfielder, Emilio Bonafacio, and with that 91 mile-an-hour fastball, the 2014 MLB Season was officially underway, because today is...

Pretty exciting (for him) and sad (for us) news about Ayo. He’s moved to L.A. and will be starting at a new, awesome company called Stack Social. Ayo and I went to Columbia together. We became close during our sophomore year when we took Conceptual Physics together (WE ALSO LIVED...

When St. Louis Cardinals’ outfielder Curt Flood tore down the flood gates of MLB Free Agency (#seewhatididthere) in 1969, by challenging what was then known as the “reserve clause,”* no one could have predicted Clayton Kershaw signing a contract with an average annual salary over $30 million, or Robinson...

Opening Day is just a week away (the real Opening Day, that is, in America, not in Australia, at a decent hour, sans jet-lagged players), and that means so many things: Pennant Chases, hot starts, no names becoming Names, Mike Trout doing everything, Miguel Cabrera hitting everything, Yu Darvish...

Oh no. See that there? In the distance? It’s coming. And it’s terrifying, but in a We’re All About To Be Robots kind of way, not in an LA News Anchor During a 4.4 Earthquake kind of way. The approaching object is what tech blogs are affectionately calling a...

Spring might be two weeks away, officially, but that won’t stop us from celebrating the warm weather like we’ve never heard “I Got You Babe.” while stuck in a Punxsutawney Bed & Breakfast. Maybe it’s this weird warm weather and sunshine that’s so delightfully been gracing San Francisco with...

Hate getting pinched? We hope so. It hurts. Hate getting pinched AND enjoy St. Patrick’s Day? Congratulations, you’re like 99 percent of the Snake Ridding Celebrators. But you also have a problem: Green isn’t the easiest color to work into your outfit. It’s loud. It’s specific. It’s not blue....

Who doesn’t like to be called “Sport”? It’s like being referred to as “chap” but more American. More apple pie than chicken tikka masala (England’s national dish). Anyway, on November 11 2012 we launched “Modify 2.0″. Aside from making the watches water-resistant, scratch-resistant and lower profile, we also decided...
